Hello, I am a C coder but new to Perl.  I am running in an AIX
environment.  I was wondering if there was a Perl way to return string
data (or larger int values) to a C program?  For instance, if I use
the command :

ps aux | grep process123 my out put would look like this:

emextra     45304  0.0  0.0 7344 6120      - A    20:08:01  0:00
process123
emextra      97034  0.0  0.0 3184 1984      - A    20:11:25  0:00
process123
emextra    123294  0.1  0.0 5100 3580      - A    20:06:47  0:37
process123
emextra    186828  0.0  0.0 2328  912      - A    20:07:22  0:02

rsuser    8448  0.0  0.0 2900  284      - A    20:13:24  0:00
process123
rsuser    11576  0.0  0.0 2492  312      - A    20:13:24  0:00
process123
rsuser    14110  0.0  0.0 1576  288      - A    20:13:24  0:00
process123
rsuser    23584  0.0  0.0 2120  324      - A    20:13:24  0:00
process123
rsuser   24108  0.0  0.0 2540  280      - A    20:13:24  0:00
process123
rsuser   26800  0.0  0.0 1468  356      - A    20:13:24  0:00
process123

I want to retrieve the 2nd and 5th columns of the output.  I *think* I
can figure out a way for Perl to get these columns but is there a way
to return these values to my C program?

Any advise would be appreciated
